Re: CLEANING PAN OF SEDIMENT UPON PURCHASE

Hope you find the valve missing its keeper!
Hate to see that valve stuck in a piston, putting a grove in the cylinder wall!
We used to use kerosene to clean the oil mud out off these engines.
Probably can't purchase kerosene anymore.
We once had a beautiful 1967 Chevelle Malibu hardtop owned by a sweet little old lady.
Problem with her car was, she never changed her oil, never!
When we took the valve cover off, you could not see the rocker assembly!
They were completely covered in that black muck, as well as the whole engine.
Good luck with the clean out, be patient and get her clean and you'll have a sweet running motor.
